We have a big opportunity in China. We think the number of stores here can rival the number in North America.

With its population making up one fifth of the world's total, China offers a market with enormous potential.

China is going to be one of Avon's largest market opportunities. It has a large geographic expanse, with hundreds of thousands of women in small villages really striving to make an earnings opportunity for themselves.

Chinese... companies do not have to think about whether they do something to enhance their competitive edge in international markets.

We don't believe the market can be dominated by one company in e-commerce in China - namely Alibaba. The Chinese market is very wide and deep, with a huge population.

China can and will be an invaluable trading partner to both the U.S. and the U.K.

Remember, China is the largest country in the world, so they have the confidence, the capital and resources to create large companies.

Our experience is that it is not terribly difficult to do business in China. But the issue is, how much stability do you have in terms of what you negotiate up front and when you've got your feet and your investments on the ground.

China is an area where we need to be present. Lots of companies want to supply their products to China.
